Lyrics
A Shot In The Dark
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I'm leaving loves behind
While finding time to rhyme
Mistakes with what's at stake
No, that's just too contrived
Can I get a little taste of your lips so I feel alive?
Can you offer up the same uncertainty that I define?
Are you up for keeping in touch once a month or twice a year?
Can you handle regret and a lack of will to persevere?
This apathy will haunt me over and over and over…
So when will I wake up?
Please pinch me I don't feel a thing
I've got a hand of wish and one of chance
Don't bother, it's enough to get me through it
I close my eyes and roll a set of loaded dice, I'm sure
As convincing as a shot in the dark could be
I'll keep doing what I love with a stab at integrity
I'm adding water to w(h)ine
Pretending I'm not that guy
I'm cracking jokes all the time
to cover up a steady decline
Can I get a little taste of your lips so I feel alive?
Can you offer up the same uncertainty that I define?
Are you up for keeping in touch once a month or twice a year?
Can you handle regret and a lack of will to persevere?
This apathy will haunt me over and over and over…
So when will I wake up?
Please pinch me I don't feel a thing
I've got a hand of wish and one of chance
Don't bother, it's enough to get me through it
I close my eyes and roll a set of loaded dice, I'm sure
As convincing as a shot in the dark could be
I'll keep doing what I love with a stab at integrity
Leaving always gets the best of me when I can't say hello again
It's just another way to remember
It's just another way to forget
So when will I wake up?
Please pinch me I don't feel a thing
I've got a hand of wish and one of chance
Don't bother, it's enough to get me through it
I close my eyes and roll a set of loaded dice, I'm sure
As convincing as a shot in the dark could be
I'll keep doing, doing, doing what I love
